This new Loeb edition, the most extensive selection of the fragments  available in English, presents the work of more than fifty-five poets,  including Cratinus and Eupolis, the other members (along with  Aristophanes) of the canonical Old Comic triad. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor each poet  and play there is an introduction, and for many there are brief notes  and recent bibliography. Also included are a selection of ancient  testimonia to Old Comedy, nearly one hundred unattributed fragments  (both book and papyri), and descriptions of thirty vase paintings  illustrating Old Comic scenes. The texts are based on the monumental  edition of Kassel and Austin, updated to reflect the latest scholarship.
